Beppe Papadopulo says he's shocked by his sacking at Bologna this week.

Papadopulo was dumped and replaced by Franco Colomba on Monday.

"This is a huge disappointment that I really am not going to sit here and accept," slammed Papadopulo. "Last year I took over a team in a disastrous condition with seven games to go and we avoided relegation.

"We had our summer transfer campaign amid a sea of troubles, scraping together the few pennies we could find to get new players.

"Despite all that, all things considered, we had a pretty positive start to the season. This decision is totally lacking in any logic.

"It was like a tsunami that sweeps everything away. In my view the only one to blame for this decision is director of sport Fabrizio Salvatori. I forced him to tell me that last night."
